If you write a post implying that I have manufactured facts, you had better be prepared to put up your fists. Typical. Just like Alan, you can dish it out, but you just can't take it, can you? I might as well say one last thing to you that I have held back so far. Your arguments about the Rape of Nanjing are identical to those of Holcaust deniers. Same old BS: Laboriously question the evidence, with the most absurd counter-arguments. Attack the integrity of the people who produce it, and accuse the governments of the victims of engaging in propaganda. Cite dubious historical evidence to show that mass murder is common, so why should Germany/Japan be singled out? Normally, Minoru, most objective people who hear such denials about the Holocaust just shake their heads in disgust. The ones who know the truth of Japan's crimes do the same when they hear denials of the Rape of Nanjing, or the "Three Alls" policy, or the comfort women. If you were uneducated, perhaps I could understand how you could parrot such vile and offensive right wing propaganda. But that is obviously not the case, so there is just no excuse. Don't you feel any shame at all? John M. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Persons posting messages to not_honyaku assume all responsibility for their messages.
